Ž 137, 1-9

1 By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down, yea, we wept, when we remembered Zion. 2 We hanged our harps upon the willows in the midst thereof. 3 For there they that carried us away captive required of us a song; and they that wasted us required of us mirth, saying, Sing us one of the songs of Zion. 4 How shall we sing the LORD's song in a strange land? 5 If I forget thee, O Jerusalem, let my right hand forget her cunning. 6 If I do not remember thee, let my tongue cleave to the roof of my mouth; if I prefer not Jerusalem above my chief joy. 7 Remember, O LORD, the children of Edom in the day of Jerusalem; who said, Rase it, rase it, even to the foundation thereof. 8 O daughter of Babylon, who art to be destroyed; happy shall he be, that rewardeth thee as thou hast served us. 9 Happy shall he be, that taketh and dasheth thy little ones against the stones.

Verš 8

O daughter of Babylon, who art to be destroyed; happy shall he be, that rewardeth thee as thou hast served us.

Jer 50:15 - Shout against her round about: she hath given her hand: her foundations are fallen, her walls are thrown down: for it is the vengeance of the LORD: take vengeance upon her; as she hath done, do unto her.

Jer 50:29 - Call together the archers against Babylon: all ye that bend the bow, camp against it round about; let none thereof escape: recompense her according to her work; according to all that she hath done, do unto her: for she hath been proud against the LORD, against the Holy One of Israel.

Zjv 18:6 - Reward her even as she rewarded you, and double unto her double according to her works: in the cup which she hath filled fill to her double.

Verš 3

For there they that carried us away captive required of us a song; and they that wasted us required of us mirth, saying, Sing us one of the songs of Zion.

Ž 79:1 - O God, the heathen are come into thine inheritance; thy holy temple have they defiled; they have laid Jerusalem on heaps.

Verš 7

Remember, O LORD, the children of Edom in the day of Jerusalem; who said, Rase it, rase it, even to the foundation thereof.

Jer 49:7 - Concerning Edom, thus saith the LORD of hosts; Is wisdom no more in Teman? is counsel perished from the prudent? is their wisdom vanished?

Ez 25:12 - Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because that Edom hath dealt against the house of Judah by taking vengeance, and hath greatly offended, and revenged himself upon them;

Z 137 - Pretože sa v žalme hovorí o babylonskom zajatí ako o minulosti, a z druhej strany sa veľmi živo opisuje postavenie deportovaných, autori sú zajedno v domnienke, že vznikol v prvých rokoch po návrate z babylonského zajatia.

Z 137,1 - Izraeliti bývali niekde pri kanáloch, ktoré spájali Eufrat a Tigris. Aj prorok Ezechiel mal svoje videnie pri rieke Chobar, čo bol pravdepodobne tiež kanál niektorej z dvoch spomenutých riek (Ez 1,1).

Z 137,5-6 - Spievať radostné piesne v cudzej krajine značilo by toľko, ako zabudnúť na svoju vlasť, na Jeruzalem.

Z 137,7-9 - Jeruzalem nebol všetkým odvlečeným len vlasťou, hlavným mestom krajiny, znamenal pre nich čosi viac. Jeruzalem bol aj Pánovým sídlom, bolo to sväté mesto, Božie mesto.

Z 137,7 - Keď Chaldejci dobyli Jeruzalem (587), Edomčania im pomáhali plieniť a vraždiť jeho obyvateľov (Ez 35,10.12.15; Abd 1,10-16; Jer 49,7-22).

Z 137,8-9 - Babylon volá "Babylonskou dcérou", pomenovanie bežné v SZ (Iz 47,1). O vraždení nevinných detí po dobytých mestách často čítame vo Svätom písme (2 Kr 8,12; Oz 10; Nah 3,10). Tieto ukrutnosti pre babylonských obyvateľov predpovedal Izaiáš 13,16-18; 14,21; Jeremiáš 25,12.
